Single tooth implants

A single-tooth implant works as a solution to patients who have lost a single front tooth as a result of gum disease or a broken crown. It works as a hugely effective solution to a denture that can slide and become uncomfortable.

Having a gap in your smile can make you feel self-conscious when you smile or talk, a gap further back in your mouth can affect how you bite or chew. One solution is the single tooth implant, this can resolve the problem naturally and invisibly.

This process involves a titanium implant being placed into the jaw where the gap is. This usually does not take any longer than any other routine dental procedure. A temporary restoration will be placed to fill the gap while the implant fuses with the bone. Once the implant is firmly rooted a tooth coloured crown is fitted on the top, matching the shape and colour of the surrounding teeth. Thus achieving a full and healthy smile.

What do single tooth implants involve?

You will have a comprehensive examination before any big decisions are made and we ensure that the procedure is right for you. We take an x-ray to ensure the jawbone is strong enough to take the implant and if not, a small bone graft is carried out to make sure there is enough support for when the implant is fitted.

The procedure may sound daunting but Dr Kalsi is here to ensure you are guided and reassured throughout the entire process to make it as comfortable for you as possible. The final result is one where you can go home with new confidence and continue leading a completely normal life.

You can ensure a life lasting treatment by maintaining good oral hygiene and caring for your implant just like the rest of your teeth. By keeping the surrounding area clean, it will be just like having a normal tooth and Dr Kalsi is here to make sure you are maintaining this good oral hygiene by keeping updated on your progress after the procedure.
